[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3171174, member: 24452"] The only crossbows I’ve owned have been Excaliburs, and they have served me well. I’m a fan of recurves for the simplicity. I can change strings and make minor repairs in the field. For a couple years, I’ve been reading reviews about a crossbow collaboration between Excalibur and Bowtech called Offspring, and the reviews have been great. It’s got an Excalibur Matrix lower stock and a Bowtech/Stryker compound upper. I recently found out that model has been discontinued for some reason, so I decided to acquire one before they’re gone. I bought mine off EBay as a package (bow, scope, bolts, etc) for $400 shipped (price a couple years ago was $800). It came in a couple days ago, and I got it assembled and shot it yesterday. WOW! It’s about the same speed as a couple of my Excaliburs, but it’s smoother and quieter. The trigger was light enough but had a lot of creep, so I took a Triggertech aftermarket trigger out of another bow and put it in the Offspring. Problem solved. I think I have a new favorite.:thumb: This post is strictly informational, but if anyone needs/wants a new crossbow that has great reviews and is reasonably priced (now). Take a look at the Stryker Offspring. [/QUOTE]
